The town of Ashland agreed to allow a new Dunkin Donuts to be built on Pond Street which is on Route 126. The new one is a brand new building and will have a drive up window and a parking area for people that prefer to sit down and enjoy their beverages and refreshments inside the building. What many people donít know, and the reason for this letter is "Senior Citizens" are going to be paying much of the cost of building the new establishment. How is this being done, you ask, and the answer is simple: They have just reduced the senior discount to 5 percent from 10 percent in all of this ownerís shops. Greed and abusing seniors in this manner in my mind is the new American business way and for those that care should protest in a way that will tell this operator enough is enough.
